You can choose an app template with minimal to no configuration required or use one of the available builders to customize an app before publishing. Each of these options offer various functionality, such as different tools, layouts, and color schemes.
Note:
Your organization may have specified brand colors or a logo to apply to apps created by members of your organization. When you create an app that supports these Shared theme settings, the specified settings will be applied instead of the default theme of the app.
When a published web app is based on a scene, any changes the author makes to the scene, including its extent, layers, description, and so on, are reflected in the web app. If a scene that was available to everyone in the organization is made private (or deleted), the scene no longer appears in the app.
Note:
To share an app publicly that contains subscriber content, you can configure it to allow access to the content through your ArcGIS Online organizational subscription. Your subscription will incur any credit costs. To determine how a specific app builder handles subscriber content, refer to the respective app documentation.
To create a web app from a scene, use one of the following methods:
- On the Content page, click the Create app button.
- On the web scene item page, click the Create app button.
- On the Designer toolbar in Scene Viewer, click
the Create app button
to create an app in the scene.
The following app builders are available:
| App builder | Description |
|---|---|
| ArcGIS Instant Apps | Choose an app to provide a focused experience using your scene. |
| ArcGIS Experience Builder | Use a template or start from scratch to create the exact web experience you want. |
| ArcGIS StoryMaps | Tell a story by combining scenes with narrative text and media. |
| ArcGIS Dashboards | Create a dashboard with visualizations that provide key insights. |
Create an app from the Content page
Complete the following steps to create an app from a scene on the Content page:
- If necessary, verify that you are signed in with the privileges to create content, and have access to the app builder you are using.
- At the top of the site, click Content and click the My content tab.
- Click Create app and choose an app builder.
You are taken directly to the app builder you selected and can begin creating your app.
Once you save or publish your app, it will be added as an unshared item in My content. To make your app accessible to others, share it.
